An Understated Dominance
Natasha smiled and took Dustin by the elbow. âLetâs go. Iâll show you around, and weâll drop by Dash Corporation.â
In South City, the Swanson family room was bright and spacious. Ezra sat across Eleanor at the table, talking and eating dessert.
âEzra, why is Sir Crane still not here? Do you think he stood us up?â Eleanor looked at the time, appearing upset. Sheâd been waiting for an hour, but no one showed up.
âEleanor, be patient. Sir Crane is a very busy man. Letâs wait for a little longer. He should be here soon.â Ezra flashed her a charming smile.
As soon as he was done talking, someone opened the door. Soon, an old man dressed in an all-black suit with a stern and cold expression strode in.
The old man had his hands behind him. His facial expression was icy, and his gaze haughty. He had this mysterious air around him..
âSir Crane, youâve finally arrived.â Ezraâs eyes lit up, welcome him. and he stood up to.
âHave you prepared what I requested?â Theodore sat down slowly. He spoke in a low and enigmatic voice.
âAll ready.â Ezra nodded as he took out a shirt and put it on the table. He continued, âThis is a shirt worn by Dustin Rhys. I asked someone to steal it.
âVery good. With this shirt, that guy wonât be able to escape.â Theodore nodded with a satisfying look. Dustinâs actions had embarrassed him to no end in front of the Welch family.
Now that Ezra was going to pay him to cast a spell on Dustin Rhys, it was just like he could get paid to avenge as well. Wasnât it a sweet deal? himself
âSir Crane, itâs just a shirt. What can it possibly do?â Eleanor was unimpressed.
âWhy? Are you doubting my abilities?â Theodore looked displeased. âPlease donât misunderstand her, Sir Crane. Eleanor is just curious. Weâve never seen anything like this.â Ezra tried to smooth things over with a smile.
âTruth be told, a personâs scent will linger on their shirt. We canât detect it, but there are some things that could accurately locate them just by their scent alone, even from hundreds of miles away,â Theodore explained.
âReally? What are these amazing things?â Eleanor was suddenly intrigued.
âThis is a business secret. I canât tell you anything,â Theodore replied coolly. Eleanor frowned and was a little annoyed. But she decided not to lose her temper.
âSir Crane, letâs begin.â Ezra changed the topic.
âAlright.â Theodore nodded and retrieved two tightly sealed wooden containers. The wooden container on the left was covered with a green cloth, and the one on the right was covered with a red cloth.
âSomething venomous is in the green wooden container. Once a person is bitten by this thing, they will experience excruciating pain. Theyâd feel like a whole army of ants were eating them alive. Theyâd be torn between living and dying.
âSomething aggressive is in the red one. If bitten by this, the person will bleed to death through all their orifices within three minutes.
âNow, make your choice. Would you like him to suffer excruciating pain, or would you like him to die instantly?â Theodore introduced the different spell effects and gave them the right to decide.
âEleanor, what do you think we should choose?â Ezra turned to ask.
âKilling him would be too easy on him. âEleanorâs face was cold, and her eyes shone with a killer intent.
âHe went against me. I want him to experience excruciating pain. I want him to regret the choices he made. I want him to kneel before me and beg for forgiveness and apologize for his mistakes!â
Ezraâs eyelid twitched when he heard that.
Fuck! Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
